LEARNING IN REAL-TIME: IN PERSON & ONLINE

Unlike many other online private schools, classes at Scholars Academy take place “in real time” and are NOT self-guided or asynchronous. Whether your child is an online student or participating in our in-person classes in Albemarle, NC, they will have experienced, passionate educators leading the way.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR DIVERSE STUDENTS

Our teachers have a deep understanding of how to best meet the needs of gifted students and learners with one or more exceptionalities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, or autism spectrum.
